Host Connectivity

The Interdependency Analyzer collector places details about interactions between CICS programs and resources in a set of DB2 tables.  To allow the client to access these tables a user ID and password is required that connects to the location of the DB2 database.  Open the connection window using Window > Preferences and select Connections

connectionprefs

Enter the server address, user ID and password.   By default DB2 on zOS listens for connection on port 448 and if no schema is entered the client will determine this after having connected to the host succesfully.  If you need to manually alter either the schema or port number select the Use schema radio button.

If you do not know the database name you can find it by looking in the host's jobs.  For example, for DB27 look in the job DG27MSTR joblog for the details just prior to the message #DG27 DSNYASCP 'START DB2' NORMAL COMPLETION.

You can test the details entered on the connection preferences at any stage using the Test Connection button.  This either shows where any problems are:

or reports that the connection details are valid.
